Tripple xc, congrats on your bike.I really loved it as I am sure you can throw it around lekker.For short traffic commutes and after testing it, the honda and Bmw, I believe it is the best of the lot in my opinion.I am very interested in how you find it.Tommy, Perry in Hillcrest have in stock and a demo.We were going to ride it, but they could not find the key.fixit, we also found the price a bit stiff.My son does over 100 km a day commuting and at 100k went for the NC750 with the DCT box, very happy!We trust that it will handle the high mileage better.

Fitted the handguards this morning ànd fitted an aftermarket set from Startline.Standard handle bar ends turned out to be a mission to get off due to the red loctite used. Going to get some bushes machined to finish it off properly .Price wise i got a good deal from Madmacs and ended up paying just under 70k for the demo unit with aftermarket foot pegs,Crash Bars and Mitas tyres front and rear.Looking at a decent skid plate and centre stand prices as i go along.The Honda NC is a better commuter but i was looking for an adventure bike .My bike is permanently dirty as the streets in our area in Darling are dirt and my first farm roads are 2 km away.Busy getting my riding gear out and dusted off.Next mission is to get all my tools ,tyre levers and puncture repair kits and tubes are up to spec and to start some rides.First on my list is Cederberg Oasis 1 nighter back via Citrusdal and Kapteins Kloof to Piketberg and via Mooreesberg and dirt back to Darling.
